The brand new 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens is a standard zoom lens with an Image Stabiliser and high zoom ratio. When using the Image Stabiliser, you can obtain sharp, natural-looking pictures in dim lighting without using a flash or a tripod - very handy for places where flash is prohibited. This powerful lens uses ring-type USM for swift, silent auto-focus and full-time manual focus. The closest focusing distance is 20 in. (50cm).
